Functional Assessment: Old Wine in New Bottles.

Ervin, Ruth A.; Ehrhardt, Kristal E.; Poling, Alan

School Psychology Review, v30 n2 p173-79 2001

Traces functional assessment (FA) in school settings to early contributions by B. F. Skinner. FA plays an important role in behavior analysis, and the value of this approach in dealing with behavior problems in many settings has long been evident. Although interest in FA in school settings has only recently become widespread, FA in education has a long history. (Contains 41 references.) (GCP)
